I'm voting #4. Many of the birds here have strange crests, ridges, or protuberances on a standard bird head. The flamingo head has none of that, instead, it is strange from the inside out, the whole shape is wacky. It's like an alien.

Q, I'm not quite savvy enough to put up a polling widget (maybe next time.) Also, I like people to be able to comment with their vote, if they want to.

I can see #3 has the glamour vote, but I still maintain it bypassed natural selection and was manufactured in a toy company next to My Pretty Ponies.

I'm going for #6. He's homely. He's got hideous dietary habits. He's the spokesman for menace. But by tootles, he’s utilitarian and he does the job no one else had the stomach for! Go Vultures!!!!! You can dispose of my reeking carcass any day of the week.

Not enough recognition for the wretched Guineafowl! That head is a horrid, unclean thing! I mean, sure, if I had to choose which bird I wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley, I'd probably go with the condors, they're *dangerous.* If I saw the Guineabeast in an alley, I'd give it a kick and have done...but its face would yet stare at me. One terrible beady eye glaring up from the crumpled heap of feathers it would become, and that face would haunt me until my dying day. That face! That horrible face!

The condors are related the shoebill and flamingo are both waders the gueniefowl is very alert King Vultures a scavanger like the condors feather duster budgie a parrot and B.F. BOOBY is a seabird as indicated by his webbed feet but only one of them is a killer
